Fair enough the people at firefox want to make developments and present new ideas but give an option to revert to normal operation rather than forcing people change the way they interact with their software, this slightly arrogant attitude only encourages people to investigate other products. This can be said for various new "developments" in firefox for example the removal of the "go" button, another feature forced upon us (and beofre you say it it's not just the same as using reload, reload resubmits form values) The address bar is for addresses, it is most frustrating when trying to enter an address you get presented with results that match page titles and not the URL (the address) that you are trying to enter.
